Welcome to my personal bilingual non-commercial Website Baltic Cane﻿ -- Here you will find information
about making Bamboo Flyrods, creating fly rod tubes, making leather items related to fly-fishing. The focus will be on single handed fly rods based on tapers of the masters and of short
(11ft-13ft) Bamboo Speyrods -- here we have a new trend driven by the PNW Steelhead community. Although this is a hobby, please contact me if there is a rod or accessoire that you like to know more
upon - we will find a solution.

For 2015/16 I developed fly rod tubes using veneer, fiberglas and leather. e.

Flyfishing for all creatures with fins in salt and freshwater, but especially fly-fishing for Atlantic Salmon and Searun Browns is my passion for more than
40 years. I am tying all my flies and building all my flyrods; especially the design and construction of Splitcane Rods has consumed most of my free time.﻿

My profession is Ocean- and Climate-Research and from my office at the GEOMAR Institute I have a free view on the Kiel Fjord and the
Baltic Sea ---

Hereyou can find someinformationabout the general
constructionof splitcanefly rodsand about a fewspecial rods that I made. Alreadyin the 80s, I started with rod making, but in contrastto mostrod makers, I started from the theoreticalside.The firstPC's cameonthe market and thefirst flattable-ink printers areaffordable.SoI wrotea programtodevelop(in HP QuickBasic) split cane
rodsandto generate agraphic blueprint for
planing.Today, this would bemuch easier, there are several niceprogramson the Internetand libraries withhundredsof tapers. After that, in the middle
of the 80ieswehave(myfriendand me)bought aplanning form, andother tools andoff we went. It was interesting thatthe firstrod wasalreadyprettygood--- at that time I must have had more free-timethan today.﻿
